Paul Klee at the Guggenheim Museum Details
From Publishers Weekly More than an artist of quiet humor and poetic wit, Paul Klee, as Kagan observes, was a higly ambitious, historically conscious idealist who believed in the redeeming value of painting. That impression is confirmed by this catalogue of an exhibition at the SoHo branch of the Guggenheim Museum, Manhattan. It reproduces in color the Guggenheim's entire Klee collection--77 paintings and works on paper. Art historian Kagan ( Paul Klee: Art and Music ) follows the Swiss painter's metamorphosis from graphic artist to creator of masterworks of pure color. In her introduction, Guggenheim curator Dennison looks at Klee's art as a lifelong process of redefining themes and forms that mirrored a world of flux. An essential source on Klee's art, this album includes early satirical etchings, Bauhaus color experiments, hieroglyph-laden dreamscapes and late joyful abstractions.

Reviews
Nice book with a fair amount of artists work represented. Individual images are given their own page rather than combined which they deserve so they don't compete or feel cluttered. Book is roughly 10x11.5 inches but the actual images are smaller since the publisher allowed for borders which emphasizes the artwork and feels balanced. Image quality is very good in my opinion. Very pleased. Book is used with some wear but still in pretty good shape. Overall, we believe we received honest value and are enjoying the book
